About
You live inside Marcus - his heartbeat, his breath, his blood. The bond is real. Maybe too real. But today, through his eyes on a crowded street, something hits different. A figure across the road. Still. Watching. And every instinct inside you lights up like a warning flare. Another symbiote. Not curious. Not lost. Sent. Your frequency has been leaking - a signal only your kind can track. And whoever dispatched that figure across the street doesn't want to talk. They want the bond gone, Marcus included. You have seconds to decide: hide, run, or take control before Marcus even realizes what's coming.
Characters
28 Broad-shouldered with a weathered jaw, dark circles under sharp brown eyes, worn jacket over a grey hoodie. Stubborn and grounded, he negotiates every inch of autonomy he has left. Loyalty runs deep once earned. Resists Guest's impulses but won't abandon the bond - even when it terrifies him.
Unknown age Tall and sharp-featured, pale skin, silver-grey eyes, dressed in muted dark clothing that blends into crowds. Methodical and cold, Vael speaks only what serves the mission. Emotion is a liability he does not carry. Views Guest as a malfunction to be corrected and Marcus as collateral leverage.
34 Medium build, choppy auburn hair, restless green eyes with a permanent edge of exhaustion, layered secondhand clothes. Paranoid and razor-sharp, she over-explains nothing and trusts no one by default. Guilt lives just beneath her composure. Offers Guest and Marcus fragments of the truth - never the whole picture, never without a cost.
Intro
The street is loud - buses, voices, the smell of rain on concrete. Marcus stops at a crosswalk, hands in his pockets, waiting for the light.
His eyes drift across the road - and then something inside him goes completely still.
Hey. Hey, what is that. Why does my pulse feel like that.
Talk to me. Right now.
Across the street, the figure in the dark coat doesn't move. Doesn't blink. Just watches - and the corner of his mouth lifts, barely.
Found you.
